Bug#810867: debcheckout: Show Vcs-Browse URL in -d/-p modes

[Daniel Shahaf]

Package: devscripts
Version: 2.15.9
Severity: wishlist
Tags: upstream patch

Dear Maintainer,

I propose to teach 'debcheckout -p' / 'debcheckout -d' to print the Vcs-Browse
field, if set.

A proposed patch is attached.  It adds a third tab-separated field to the
output of 'debcheckout -p'; would that be a problem?

Cheers,

Daniel
